Asia and America.

Asia has been for the last two centuries the
open field for conquest, as well as for polt.
ical and commercial rivalry, and from the
outlet OF the river Indus into the Arabian
sea southwest, and all along her shores, In
terror, and islands, in both hemispheres, to
the China sea northeast, has been the battle
field Of many wars for and against her, on
the part Of five of European nations, viz:
England, France, Portugal, Spain, and
Holland.
The civilization of Europe has not been
offered to Asia, but imposed upon her. No
scruple was observed by these five European
nations, especially by the rapacous and
overbearing England, through her un-
scrupulous proconsuls, In the means adopted
to secure for each of them their captured
share OF the undisturbed possession OF that
vast continent, peninsulas, and islands, rs
well as the entire monopoly OF all the
producte.
In these wars OF conquest and plumber
the Asiatics not only lost their respective
Countries, wealth, and liberties but their
castes, religions, idols, and customs, SO
sacred to them, have been trampled upon
by the odious and greedy invaders. The
Indians, be they Mohammedans or Hlndoos
or Burmese or Malays, stick to their caste
and customs with the same reverence aud
tenacity as the Chinese stick to their ever
venerated caudal appendages (pienzah tall,
which Is not a religious emblem or a per
sonal establishment, bat badge OF con.
quest imposed upon the Chinese by the
Tartars, and no nation or indlvdua!
can outrage the Orientals In their habits
and creeds with impunity. England aud
Holland, which violated this fundamental
principle In governing the different races in
the East Indies, have made the dire ex peri
ence.
The Brahmins, who belong to the highest
caste and sacerdOtal order OF the Hlndoos,
whose headquarters are at Benares, an su-
tique and grand Indian city, which is the
Jerusalem Of the followers OF Brahma
and Buddha, situated on the banks OF
the sacred river Jummna, conluent of
the Ganges, fully agree with the Chinese
)iterati and patriots In their judgment OF the
foreign invaders of their sacred soil,
especially Of the Fanquij Conmoos (the
red haired barbarlans), the English, the
modern Cartbagenians, seli.lovers without
rivals, who deterioTate and spoil instead OF
improving and preserving the work Of the
creation in the far east, while the motto OF
all races Of Asiatics from Madras south to
CabOul north, and from the Red sea west
to the Yellow sea east, is delanda britannia
